    I'm guessing it'll be the end of the week/start of next week. Maybe someone else knows for sure?

    Where did you get these stats?
    Well one of my mates has been pretty much told that he is in, after the interview he was told "not to worry about a thing he got on grand" by a family member already in the army.

    I got an email yesterday saying that I have a fitness exam next tuesday morning. Anyone else?

    So in otherwords you got through the interview stage? I'm not shore if my mate got an email telling him about the fitness test yet, is it the same date for everybody and does everyone who does the interview get through to the fitness test or just a selected few?

    What does the aptitude test involve?

    Or is it the same thing as the fitness test?

    sorry for the slow reply!

    the aptitude test is an examination of your problem solving, mental, and comprehension agility.


    I hope this answers your question!

    Great to see such interest in joining the Naval Service.

    Best of luck to all the sucessful candidates who were called forward to interveiw.

    It was great to see all the bew candidates in their oft times illfitting first suits down on the base.

    If anyone has a particular question they want answered about the Naval Service please pm me and I will be glad to help.

    Just to remind you all that if you are called for the fitness test make sure you ome prepared with you packed sports kitbag.

    Running Shoes, Shorts, T-Shirts and Socks make sure you bring your wash gear and towel for a shower afterwards.

    No Running Gear, Not Able To Undergo Test, No Job!

    The basic entry fitness test is very easy so give it your all, if you are required on the day to perform push ups and DF crunchs for the whole 60secs then give it EVERYTHING! You may be graded with your fitness scores.

    Dont stop until the PTI tells you to stop.

    The 1 1/2 mile run in haulbowline may not be a flat course around the base, its often starts from the Gym and goes through the base, out over the Rocky Is. Bridge and out the road to the marker.

    Pace your self, you have 11mins 40 secs for male and 13 mins 10 secs for females. Do not sprint of at the start or try to prove something by racing the idiot next to you.

    Take a steady pace until the half way marker, run the second half a bit faster look at the time you have left and when you can see the finish line, OPEN UP and LEG IT!

    Best of Luck to all.

    Alright lads, well if you read through the last few pages of this thread a few people have got word back and their dates for the fitness test, one lad I was chatting to said he got word back on the 25th of august as far as I know, so that was a few weeks ago at this stage... but maybe not everyone finds out at the same time?
